Proto-Turkic

Etymology

From *ōt (fire) +‎ *-ag. Alternatively, from the verbal stem *ōta- (to make fire) +‎ *-g.

There was a supposedly early occurred differentiation in stems ending in a vowel acquiring the sense 'room' and stems ending in -ag/-aq acquiring the sense 'tent', but the reverse relationship between form and sense is also attested.

The vowel length in the the first syllable is lost in all contemporary languages including Turkmen and Yakut. However, we can see that the t sound is vocalized due to the long vowel in Gagauz and Turkish.

Noun

*ōtag

  1. fireplace
  2. tent
  3. room
